Rihanna was, without a doubt, hands down, unquestionably the best-dressed person at the Council of Fashion Designers of America's annual awards in New York City on Monday night.

The event is like the Oscars of fashion — all the fashion people get together and celebrate each other by giving out statues — and mostly attended by models, designers, and other people who make, wear, and are simply accustomed to bizarre, wearable things, so the pressure is really on for everyone to look weird but also glamorous.

1. Did she have her nipple rings in? She normally has them in. We know this because you can frequently see them through her clothes, which are quite often see-through and worn without a bra. Rihanna, you see, has a bra allergy, which keeps her from putting much between her breasts and the world.

3. Is it even fair to call that fabric?

4. IS KATE MIDDLETON NOW OUT OF PANTY HOSE BECAUSE IT WAS ALL USED TO MAKE RIHANNA'S NAKED SPARKLES? If Rihanna's dress hasn't scandalized the queen, that surely would.

5. Did Rihanna think about how she was going to overshadow E V E R Y O N E before she showed up? Because as soon as Rihanna showed up it was like, bye — no one else exists and should go home immediately to think about all the clothes they wore.

6. Did every actress/model/luminary there feel like hanging their head in shame and leaving as soon as Rihanna showed up because she so definitively out-fashioned all of them? And if not, did they simply stand up at attention and clap swiftly whenever she walked — nay, sashayed — past?

7. Why was her underwear bigger in the front than in the back? This seemed like no normal thong — the back was basically nonexistent while the front was at least for sure there, you know.

8. Was she holding that fur stole to cover her underwear and make it look like she was totally naked?

9. What would you call whatever it was on her arms? Gloves? Sleeves? Arm warmers? Bedazzled K-Middy tights with holes for the fingers?

10. Are her seemingly constantly exposed nipples her way of making a political statement in a post-Rihanna's Instagram account world? If Instagram doesn't want anyone to see her ta-tas, is this her way of saying, "Eff all of you, they're coming out anyway"?

11. Why did she wear anything on her arms at all? It clearly wasn't for warmth.

12. Why did she wear anything at all? They do make loose glitter. Just putting that out there.
